Ecstasy, GHB, Rohypnol, Ketamine, and Meth are all examples of typical club drugs abused at parties, raves, and night clubs across the globe. These drugs affect the heart rate or nervous system and some even cause hallucinations. It’s for those dramatic effects that people abuse the drugs to “enhance” their social experience. Unfortunately, many people, even some parents, think using drugs at these gatherings is harmless because it’s just for fun or a “one-time” affair. It’s so important to know that club drugs can be addictive, they weaken your body and judgment, and at their worst, they are deadly.

Of course, not all social events are plagued with drug abuse – but enough of them are to be concerned. If you’re at a rave or dance party, being aware of your surroundings is essential to staying safe. Many club drugs dissolve easily into drinks. For example, Rohypnol is tasteless and odorless so it would be almost impossible to know about a contaminated drink.

- GHB: Available in liquid, powder, or caplet

- Ketamine: Typically abused as a liquid or white powder

- Ecstasy (MDMD): Usually found in tablet or capsule form

- Rohypnol: Pill, but it is easily soluble in liquids, including alcohol

- Meth: Pills and crystalline powder forms are both available

As a young adult, or a parent, being responsible and knowing what to look for can keep you, or someone you love, out of harm’s way.
